Wounded on the Somme
Now a Lieutenant, Percy was in the thick of things on the Somme, where he was wounded on two occasions. While recouperating, he wanted nothing more than to rejoin his mates in the 28th.
In August 1916, Percy was awarded the Military Medal (MM) for maintaining communication with surviving officers and attending to the wounded, whilst under heavy fire at Pozières Ridge, on the night of 28/29th July 1916.
